Honorary Degree
John Yancey McGill
Doctorate of Humanities
Senator John Yancey McGill committed to a course of public service
35 years ago that would take him from the local town council to South
Carolina’s Senate, where he has served since 1989.
Dedicated and sensitive to serving all people in the District 32
counties of Florence, Georgetown, Horry and Williamsburg, Senator
McGill has worked to lower taxes, increase jobs, build and improve
roads, ensure quality education and quality health care, and preserve
our natural resources. His current Senate committee assignments
include Agriculture and Natural Resources; Ethics; Finance; Fish,
Game and Forestry; Invitations; and Transportation. He also serves
on the Executive Committee of Senate Finance and as chairman of the Finance Subcommittee
on Natural Resources.
Working to improve the quality of life for the citizens of the state is a hallmark of Senator
McGill’s life. He is presently chairman of the North Eastern Strategic Alliance (NESA), a regional
economic development organization that serves a nine-county region in the northeast corner
of South Carolina. NESA’s primary objective is to enhance the quality of life for residents of
the region by creating additional jobs and capital investment within the existing industry base,
recruiting new companies and expanding tourism-related development.
He also serves on the board of directors of the Waccamaw Regional Planning and Development
Council, and is a past chairman of the council’s board of directors and its Industrial Revolving
Loan Committee. The agency serves county governments, municipalities and citizens of
Georgetown, Horry and Williamsburg counties, offering a wide variety of planning, economic
development and social services to aid in the orderly growth and development of the area.
Over the years, numerous groups have recognized Senator McGill for his dedicated service to
our state. Five associations and organizations have named him Legislator of the Year and three
as Senator of the Year. Other awards include the S.C. Association of Counties Distinguished
Service Award, Clemson PSA Service Award, S.C. Advocate for Agriculture Award, Primary
Health Care Association Legislative Award and S.C. Counseling Association Legislative Award.
Senator McGill’s commitment to higher education in South Carolina extends to all of the
state’s colleges and universities. In particular, his support of Clemson’s public service and
agriculture mission has enabled the University to better serve the citizens of our state.
Having attended both The Citadel and Francis Marion College, Senator McGill has been the
recipient of honorary degrees from those institutions as well as Coastal Carolina University and
the Medical University of South Carolina, for which he has served on the board of visitors.
When not attending to his duties in the Senate, he is a real estate broker and residential
homebuilder in his hometown of Kingstree where he got his first taste of politics as a member of
the Kingstree Town Council and later as mayor pro tempore and as mayor.
Clemson University holds Senator McGill’s achievements and service to the people of South
Carolina in the highest regard. It is a great privilege to present today the honorary degree,
Doctorate of Humanities, to Senator John Yancey McGill.
The Academic Procession
The academic procession is composed of the faculty, staff, officers, trustees and most honored guests of the University.
Faculty enter by college and each college is preceded by its marshal, a senior faculty member, with the college baton,
described under University Regalia. The college banners are placed on the stage. Each banner is a combination of colors
that declare the disciplines taught in that college. These colors, which were established by the American Council on
Education, are listed below.
Collegiate faculty follow their marshal in order of academic rank wearing academic costumes of medieval origin. Those
who have received their degrees from institutions outside the United States wear costumes specified by the awarding
institutions. Academic costumes of faculty whose degrees are from institutions in the United States are specified by a
uniform code maintained by the American Council on Education. Caps are black and are usually mortar boards with
tassels. Doctors of philosophy wear gold tassels usually of metallic thread; other degrees wear black or discipline colors.
The bachelor’s gown is simple and black with long, pointed sleeves. Masters’ gowns, also black, are longer than bachelors’
gowns. Older gowns have sleeves that terminate at the elbow, while those since 1960 have sleeves extended to the wrist.
Doctors’ gowns are full, with bell-like sleeves. The front is marked by velvet panels and the sleeves are marked by three
velvet bars. While most gowns are black with black velvet, one variation is to replace black velvet with velvet in the
discipline color. A second variation is a colored gown usually of the university’s colors.
All hoods specify the level of degree, the type of discipline studied and the awarding institution. First, degree level is
signified by the size of the hood with bachelors’ the smallest, masters’ larger and doctors’ quite large and of a different
shape. Clemson does not award hoods to bachelors. The width of the velvet trim also conveys the degree. Secondly, the
degree is indicated by the color of the trim edging the hood to form the throat over the gown. The most frequently seen is
dark blue, which designates the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree. Finally, the color of the hood’s lining specifies the
awarding institution. The colors are displayed in combinations that are drawn from heraldry. Notice that the Clemson
University hood is lined with purple through which is an orange chevron (a “V”). Although many combinations are
duplicated by dozens of institutions, Clemson is presently the only institution with that registered combination.
The officers, trustees and honored guests wear academic, ecclesiastical or military regalia as set forth by their professions.
The president of Clemson University wears a purple gown with four velvet bars piped in gold and the university seal
embroidered on the panels. Each trustee wears a similar gown with three velvet bars piped in gold for doctorates and an
embroidered palmetto tree on each sleeve for those who do not hold doctorates. Hoods are either from Clemson or from
the awarding school. They are preceded by the university marshal. Clad in a gown of office in gold and purple, the marshal
wears no hood and bears the university mace. At the ceremony’s close, the faculty do not exit as a part of the recessional
but are dismissed, along with students and guests, when the marshal leaves the coliseum.

The University Regalia
Historical Statement
The university mace is the symbolic representation of the whole
of Clemson University and must be present at any convocation
where the University, through its delegated members, is acting
officially. At any official convocation such as commencement,
the university marshal, carrying the mace, precedes the president
into the assembly. The mace rests before the president’s chair
or speaker’s stand throughout the ceremony, and its removal
from the assembly at the close of a convocation is symbolic of
the official withdrawal of the University and, thus, the close of
the proceedings.
The decorative design of Clemson’s mace is derived from the
ceremonial maces carried by heads of the state and church in the
Middle Ages. Its basic club-like shape, however, is much more
ancient, probably going back to man’s prehistory. It is made of
walnut wood and silver, with Clemson’s seal in gold and the
university colors represented by insets of carnelian (orange)
and amethyst (purple). Amethyst is also the state stone of South
Carolina.
The presidential chain and seal is symbolic of the authority
vested in the office of president by the governing body of the
University. Only the university president may wear it, and while
wearing it, he speaks for the whole body of the institution.
Clemson’s chain and seal are made of silver and gold, and
cornelian and amethyst.
The batons of the college marshals also descend from medieval
“staffs of office,” which were carried by the senior members of
departments of state or church. They display the university seal
and the symbolic color of the discipline to which the college
belongs. Clemson’s batons are made of walnut wood and silver
with the various disciplines inset with enamel.
The Clemson University regalia were designed and executed
by Mr. Robert Ebendorf. Mr. Ebendorf is twice winner of the
Tiffany Award and one of the most acclaimed goldsmiths of our
era. The enamel plaques for the batons were executed by the late
Professor Marshall C Bell, and the lapidary work was executed by
the late Mr. C C Wilson of Clemson University.
Clemson University is named for Thomas Green Clemson
(1807–1888), who left the bulk of his estate to the state of South
Carolina for the founding of the institution.
Thomas Clemson was born in Philadelphia in 1807 and
educated at the Royal School of Mines in Paris (1828–1832).
His early profession was that of a mining engineer; however,
circumstances diverted his interests into politics and the life
of a southern planter, and he soon became an enthusiastic
advocate of scientific agriculture. He had a career as a diplomat
(chargé d’affaires to Belgium, 1844–1852) and served as the first
superintendent of agricultural affairs in Washington (1860). As a
scientist he published numerous articles in the fields of mining,
chemistry and agriculture. His varied activities included his
assistance in the founding of the Maryland Agricultural College,
his support of the Morrill Act, his leadership in South Carolina
after the Civil War, and his part in founding Clemson University.
Thomas Clemson was the son-in-law of John C Calhoun, a
South Carolina political figure of national importance during
the first half of the nineteenth century. Mr. Calhoun’s home,
Fort Hill, is preserved on the Clemson campus as a national
shrine.
The academic program at Clemson College began in 1893 with
an enrollment of 446. The first “college prospectus” announced
only two four-year curricula, supplemented by two two-year
preparatory courses. Today the University has six major academic
units. These are the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life
Sciences; the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities;
the College of Business and Behavioral Science; the College of
Engineering and Science; the College of Health, Education and
Human Development; and the Graduate School.
Clemson University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges
of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the
bachelor’s, master’s, education specialist, and doctoral degrees.
Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane,
Decatur, GA 30033-4097 or call at 404-679-4500 for questions
about the accreditation of Clemson University.
Curricula are accredited by AACSB International (Association to
Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology, American Council for Construction
Education, American Dietetic Association (CADE), American
Society of Landscape Architects, Commission on Collegiate Nursing
Education (CCNE), Council for Accreditation of Counseling and
Related Education Programs (CACREP), National Architectural
Accrediting Board, National Association of Schools of Art and
Design, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education,
NRPA/AALR Council on Accreditation, Planning Accreditation
Board, and Society of American Foresters. Documentation
of accreditation is available in the college deans’ offices.
Clemson is a land-grant institution. As such, it is engaged
not only in its primary academic program, but does extensive
research at the main campus and at five agricultural experiment
stations located in the state. The University is also heavily
committed to a varied program of public service, including the
work of agricultural extension, which has professional personnel
located in each of the state’s counties.
Clemson Alma Mater
Farmer and McGarity/arr. Freeman
Where the Blue Ridge yawns its greatness,
Where the Tigers play;
Here the sons of dear old Clemson
Reign supreme alway.
Chorus
Dear old Clemson, we will triumph
And with all our might,
That the Tiger’s roar may echo
O’er the mountain height.
We will dream of greater conquests,
For our past is grand,
And her sons have fought and conquered
Every foreign land.
Where the mountains smile in grandeur
O’er the hill and dale.
Here the Tiger lair is nestling
Swept by storm and gale.
We are brothers strong in manhood,
For we work and strive;
And our alma mater reigneth
Ever in our lives.
